What are we going to do before we start the lesson?
Where do the students come from?
Removing misconceptions from the concept.
Increases participation in the classroom.
This will reduce anxiety.
(Hook) How are we going to engage the students in the lesson?
How are we going to engage critical thinking skills?
W - I see...I know...I wonder: this is a strategy to use before a lesson and move into a KWL. 1/2 the Story - take a picture, cut it in half and use this as a way to engage discussion about what the students believe the lesson will be about.
Adjectives - cute, colorful, wild, awesome, bizarre, scary, mysterious, funny, wet: show a video or photo and have the students write as many adjectives that they can think of in 30 or 60 seconds.
Wordle - Insert an article, speech, passage from a book. Have them take 5 words, write a paragraph about the words and where they've heard them before.
Watch Talk - Show a video, no sound, then have the students talk about what was just seen - how it applies to the lesson, how using this "watch & talk" can help to remove misconceptions about content.
H Strategies - The Hook Reaction to an audio file - I'm walking through a rain forest or some kind of forest. Birds are all around me talking to each other because I'm trespassing on their turf. A stream or brook is in the background as I can hear the movement of water.
Quick Write - to get students engaged.
3 Truths and 1 Lie - Show a video and then post 4 items for a class to determine the 3 facts from the one lie. This hook can also help take away misconceptions about the topic.
Blabberize - Write a script that talks to the class and captures their attention throughout the lesson.
The ultimate goal of WH is to create a "W" digital activity that will enable you to assess and build background knowledge. Create an "H" activity that will capture and hold students' interest.

Digital Storytelling 2.0 with DEstreaming Resrouces
- should be woven into all curriculum areas
- can be constructed from as little as one image to a full-blown production
- DE Resources
- media sources: images, video, sound, music
- use a video, remove the sound, have students narrate over the video to tell the story
- integrate sound effects into the story or tell a story using the sound effects only
- use the search term "afi" - selection of videos with teacher's guides related to the creation of digital story pieces
- consider using the theme pages to help create digital stories
- story ideas: PSA, parodies, movie trailers, narratives, commercials
